Can you imagine having to ground share Rusty park after winning promotion as Somerset is going through renovation Do you think we would have to play our home games elsewhere next season if we went up? That would be absolutely gutting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 We have a settled team for once and it looks like a case of, if its not broke, don't fix it. I was concerned that with the signing of Mullen, O'Conner would be straight out the team but it looks like Bullen is giving players the right to keep their jerseys where as last season he stubbornly played players who weren't doing it. We still need someone scoring every second or third week beside Dipo to mount any kind of title challenge because we give away a goal a game, there is no sign of Dipo slowing down on the goals but it'll happen sooner or later, right now he is taking the pressure off others. Even someone in midfield that will get 8-10. As long as we remain consistent, we will keep up with Queens Park, Dundee and Thistle, they look the most consistent teams so far. We have beaten both Dundee and QP, with Thistle still to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hopefully that goal gives Mckenzie a big confidence boost and he starts scoring. If he doesn’t he may find himself out the team and young coming in to replace him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursy7 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 If I'm correct that's Murdy, Dempsey, Houston, Mckenzie, and McGinty scored now, if Dipo keeps up this form and Ashford, O'connor, JML and Mullen can pinch a few each we will be okay. The way Dipo is going he will will have elipsed Adeloyes 11 league goals last season before the leaves are off the trees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not allow as many away fans and not lose the match day income from the Hub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftk Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 If we got promoted I think the club would just delay the north terrace redevelopment until the following season when we are relegated [emoji857] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 It's too early to think about winning anything. In fact it's probably unfair on the team to set expectations too high and judge results against them. Happy to enjoy the good form while it lasts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've mentioned previously that we have the same issue any time our size has. You have a really strong starting eleven, but take even just one or two out of it (excluding Dipo) and it can have a massive effect on the team. Take Dipo out of it, and we are royally screwed. We're going to have injuries to someone of these eleven and it's going to hurt us. But agreed, let's enjoy it while it lasts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibuya Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Every team at this level relies on one or two star men. Arbroath stumbled without Nouble, Thistle aren't great when Brian Graham isnt playing, Kilmarnock needed Lafferty to get over the line etc. These guys are the difference between 3 points and a draw.

Jazzar Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Not totally convincing but good enough even if it could have gone either way against Morton. Charlie was verging on MotM for a spell....until we scored. That's two wins against two more-than-decent teams - can we make it a hat-trick of those against Whistle? A week of waiting to find out will feel like a month. Longer term, it will be interesting to see how the likes of Bangala, Mullen and Young get on trying to win a starting position. All three would appear to have the pedigree to make an impact and possibly change the style (so we don't get predictable) as the winter matches approach. If we get the win on Saturday, the feeling of something happening down our way will become very apparent - not getting carried away though and I'm certain Bullen isn't either. Lovin the feel-good whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATTOO Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 If Arbroath could sustain their challenge last season, then I see no reason why we can't this season and I'd also say the league in general is even weaker this season than last. I also think that we've put together a pretty decent squad with quality cover all over the pitch, as it stands we've got McAdams, McGinty, McAlister, Bangala, JML, Mullin and Brad Young as good and potentially good cover plus the young guys like Ecrepont, Smith and Bryden all more than capable of doing a job if and when required. I've also not seen us being dominated or outclassed by anyone so far and in reality we could and probably should have beaten both Arbroath and Hamilton so given what I've watched up to now I can really see no tangible reason why we CAN'T challenge for the league title and at worst finish in the top 3 or 4. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bullens philosophy don’t get too high when winning and too low when losing , we are performing really well at moment but will hit bumps on the way , as the club said on last weeks press conference let’s wait to January before we really judge ourselves , but keep enjoying it whilst we are getting the results 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
